Thanks for liberating another test, I remember that used to fail 
regularly when there was other activity on the system (or when running 
with -concurrency:auto where there are tests running concurrently).

I see you are exchanges mails with David about the dir.length check that 
you have added. I don't think it make sense and that check should be 
removed.
